Gigabyte GA-m61P-S3 video w98?

I am wanting to buy this motherboard but I need to run W98SE on a duel
boot. I can't find if the built in video or any PCIe card has drivers
for W98SE. I could also use a regular pci card if I have to.
Gigabyte won't answer my question. Video card makers only show XP &
Visa drivers.

If you only need 2D graphics, ie general business aps etc, use the 98SE
standard/generic video driver for the onboard video. IIRC, it's smart
enough to recognize the amount of video RAM available to allow
reasonable resolution and color depth.

Thanks I hope it has that in the onboard video. All I need is 2D for
W98SE.
